As usual, Richardson county will produce a “bumper" crop. The til ler of the soil these days more than smiles—he chortles. At Stella there is an epidemic pre vailing that is reducing the number of felines in that town at a gratify ing ratio. Stella always was a lucky burg. Lincoln merchants are offering to pay railroad fare (o persons who go from Tecumseh to that city to trade. There Is a way for Tecumseh mer chants to bent that game Just one way. Double your advertising space In the local papers. The ballots to be used at the ap proaching primaries are certainly en titled to the name they bear "blanket ballot." They nre 2 feet 4b_. inches wide and 1> inches long, and will con tain the names of all (lie candidates of the different parties. Albert Fritz, a farmer living near Wilbur, was found guilty of offering for Bale rotten eggs to a Wilbur merchant nnd fined $25 and costs by a Justice. Any man who ever broke open an aged or decayed egg can up predate and applaud tills lilt, of news. Swat, the vender of rotten eggs. Twenty years ago rural free mail delivery was regarded as visionary and impractical, an Iridescent dream, but the American people now annually pay $35,000,000 for the service on 40,000 routes. In less than a double decnde In the future, no doubt, there will be 100,000 routes, costing $100, 000,000. It will lie well for hotel men to re member that the law calling for nine foot sheets is in effect. It's a law now, remember, and not a joke; or speaking more correctly, it is a joke, but at tiie same time it is a law. You can crack your joke about it, but see that your sheets are nine feet long. . _ A year ago Alfonso of Spain ap peared to be one of the most popular of European sovereigns. Now a revolt has arisen that will tnx the monarchy mevprely to put aow'fx. Rumors are that the Car list party is about to awaken, and llipt AU’Jtiodro Leroux, powerful in Spanish labor circles, Js on his way to Spain from Brazil to place himself at the head of the rev olution, Up In Cass county it is the proper tiling for candidates,when announcing themselves, to accompany the an nouncement with a cut of some kind, showing how they look. Portraits are deceiving. A man with side wliiskers might be all right after all, and the clean-shaved, good-looking aspirant might be all wrong. Hut it is said that all candidates are good men in Cass county. Twenty-four murders and forty-five suicides was Chicago’s harvest for the month of June, and for the month of July thirty-seven suicides and twelve murders, due in a measure, so declares the city coroner, to the excessive heat. It is too late now and possibly irrelevant (o inquire what condition these poor victims were in to combat and withstand the heat? What did they eat, and what did they drink? It takes the American woman ‘0 do the sensible thing In an emer gency. Recently King Edward chok ed upon a piece of fried tripe while dining aboard tlie royal yacht. He grew purple in the face, so the spec ial cables tell us, causing much alarm among the guests. An American lady present proceeded to thump his ma jesty upon the back, releasing the tripe, “Hands Across the Sea’’ — aiug, ye terriers, sing. Mrs. Annie Besant, head of the Theosophists, arrived In this country last week from India and will pro ceed to “clean up” a few shekels from adherents to that cult and that class who are eternally experiment ing with a new belief. Miss Bes ant says that Christ is soon to come again, the time depending upon oc cult forces. It is needless to say that Annie charges a modest admis sion fee to her lectures, and is draw, lng crowded houses. WHO’S WHO. There are so many candidates for Supreme judge, and so little general information concerning their qualifi cations that the Tribune takes the liberty of saying a word about some of the'candidates to be voted for a* the primary election next Tuesday. All of the eight candidates are ex cellent men, but you can vote for bin three. Out of the eight it is uni versally conceded that‘the following four are by experience, education and temperament preeminently qualified, namely, Samuel H. Sedgwick, John B. Barnes. Kdward R. Duffle and Jacob Fawcett. A vote for any three of these four will be a vote for the best interest of the republican party; for tlie best Inter eat of any party is scr ied by tlie election of honest and capable men. WAR, AND RUMORS OF WAR! Tilings are not working as smooth ly as they might with the democratic machine. It is oiled all right, all right, and the* half dozen Knlls City engineers who met at the National hotel one night and chose tlie ticket for the rest of the county to support are at the stering gear. But the engine is about to go dead with the gasoline tank full. The first term fellows,(and the first term fellows don’t count with the ma chine, are kicking up a row about chine,) are kicking up a row about tluu Gagnon, for Instance, who lias been county Judge for eight -years and now wants to make it ten, is liable to hurt the whole ticket, and they are quietly knifing him for Janies The machine lias just heard the Jar and the first term fellows have been disciplined within the past few (lays. In tlie mean Mine the oligarchy of office holders goes merrily on its way. They wont jar loose, and the “bln bugs” of Fails City will see to it that the lesser fry throughout the county do us they arc told. In the meantime what a picnic foi lin' republicans. if the republicans don't win this fall with all the third, fourth and fifth termers against them, the party should give it up. Of course it is a little early to predict who will be nominated on the several tickets, tint the Falls City machine lias dictated the offices for a long time and it is reasonable to suppose that their efforts will again lie rewarded tills year. « THE NEW PRIMARY LAW. Under tin provisions of the new pri mary law there will be hut one ballot, upon which the names of all candi dates will appear under the party ln nding with which they affiliate and fi am whom they seek nomination. You cannot vote a part of two tickets. Don't forget tills, as an at tempt to do so will invalidate your fcullcd. For example, you cannot vote for a candidate for county treasurer on the republican ticket and a candi date for recorder on the democratic ticket. You rimy, however, write in the name of a candidate for any office of the party you vote for and vote for the same by making a cross in the square, the same as at general election.

He sure and take a bottle of Cham berlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diarrh oea Remedy with you when starting on your trip this summer. It can not be obtained on board the trains or steamers. Changes of water and climate often cause sudden attacks of diarrhoea, and it is best to be pre pared. Sold by all druggists. Dysentery is a dangerous disease but can be cured. Chamberlain’s Col ic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy has been successfully used in nine epidemics of dysentery. It has nev er been known to fail. It is equally valuable for children and adults, and when reduced with water and sweet ened, it is pleasing to take. Sold by all druggists. Not the Case Here. The census of the school popula tion of Auburn has been taken and it shows a falling off as compared with last year, there being less than 900 children of school age. It is notable that there are fluctuations in the child population .of the city for when the city was much smaller than it is now there were more than a thousand Children of school age.—Auburn Re publican. -...-— I There's n joy that is a Joy In a boy that is a bey— Just a romping, reckless tyke That the whole round World must like; Freckled, awkward, lank and brim, With trailing dog, or pup, That betimes will trip him up. In the morning out and gone At the bugles of the dawn, Finding wondrous games to play In each nook along the way, Wading brooks and climbing trees, Festering the honey bees Till they sting him in despair— But what does a real boy care? In at noon to bolt his lunch, Then a run to join the "bunch;” Shouts and yells and battle-call Over strife with bat and ball, Or a make-believe affray With the pirates in his play; Blisters, stone-bruise on bis heel, Scratches that his baths reveal. Crooning in a sing-song twang, Horrifying by his slang. Giving everyone the shakes By his chumminess with snakes, Naming with a careless shrug Every beetle, bird and bug, Ruminant upon the grass Watching all the clouds that pass. Coming home at fall of night, Grimed and marred from play and light, Brnggadoclo, weary—Yes. With a wondrous weariness. Dreaming on with smiles and sighs After sleep has closed his eyes— There's a joy that Is a joy In a .boy that Is u boy!.. ■SSJ INDIES ^Watches A woman will treasure as her choicest posses sion a reliable time piece.
